2006 Massachusetts ballot measures

Three citizen-initiated measures appeared on the November 7, 2006 ballot in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts Constitution can be amended through the initiative and state statutes can be proposed through initiative. All three statewide ballot measures that were on the November 2006 ballot by collecting signatures were proposed statutes (not constitutional amendments).

In Massachusetts, after the state determines which initiatives have succeeded in collecting enough signatures to be placed on the ballot, official numbers/names are assigned to each of the successful initiatives. The Secretary of the Commonwealth has discretion over the order of questions on the ballot.
